I can't edit my original post anymore and definitely don't want to feed trolls so I'd like to also add here that anyone who has a problem with me calling out the demographic that by far is overrepresented in running my state and the country is wrong and totally missing the point.

Ooooooh one female employee example! Guess we better go home and make some sandwiches, misogyny is officially over!

I would agree that he has done many things to make the women of Texas suffer. I also think he is a sexist pig who has abused his power as Governor. I am so happy he will not be running again.

I love the part where he points out that his Chief of Staff is female. To me it smacks of "but I have a lot of [black/gay/fill in the blank] friends" a bit too much.

As a Texas woman I have this to say to any overpaid rich white dude who'd like to tell me what does and doesn't affect me in matters of public policy:

If assholes had a bat signal, it would look like Rick Perry.

I think we can all safely agree that Perry really fucking hates women. I've never in my life seen someone go out of their way to make women's lives more difficult on such a consistent basis.

Rick Perry makes me fucking sick. Even moreso because I once had a dream that I was his mistress and I have no idea why. Must be the Clark Kent glasses..

The things here that I've eaten are indeed gross, so I'm going to take your word for it on the others. But re: Lunchables, the idea is great. I sometimes pack myself a lunch of salami and crackers and cheese and throw in an apple for good measure. All I'm missing is the little candy (which I think was an Andes…

AHAHAHAHAHA suffer with me fools!

You are having a conversation inside your head, and you expect me to repond to it based upon a group of random words strung together without regard to the rules of basic sentence structure? You are right "Fuck Me!" I should be able to read the context, subtext and inferences. Yeah, clearly I deserve your vitriol. I…

Libido can be satisfied through self stimulation. I tend to run on the side of caution with these arguments, they very easily start to look like rape apology.

I'm an inter country adoptee. Anti choicers sometimes try to rally me all "Aren't you glad your mother chose to give you a brand new chance at life rather than abort you?"

Can I be crazy and ask this question—why are we fixated on the forgiveness aspect of this story? She left her baby in a public place where she would be found because she (a rape victim) did not trust her parents enough with the truth. The baby was adopted by loving people who raised her to be the kind of woman who, by…

Speaking as a man, men may be sad without sex, but they aren't going to go mad. If anyone tells you that, they're trying to make excuses for bad behavior. The Japanese at Nan King are perhaps the perfect example. No one made those folks rape women, they freely chose to.

I've seen some comments in other dark places of the Interwebs attacking the mom for taking her to a Burger King bathroom. She was a teenager. Living in a house with what seems to be very rigid and strict parents (who she clearly did not trust). Who knows if she had a car or access to transportation? It's not like…

B/c women aren't fucking men they're not sexually satisfied? You have a lot to learn about women...

I used to think that men wouldn't go mad if they didn't get laid. Then I learned about The Rape of Nan King. And I learned this quote at school: "From the time of the landing at Hangzhou Bay, we were hungry for women!" I could never, EVER forget that line: "we were hungry for women." And now I have to admit, I can…

Is...is that what you're hoping for?

Men routinely use whatever means is available to them to get what they want, I have no problem with women using those same tools.
